Euripides, a key figure among classical Athens' tragedians, transformed drama by portraying mythical heroes as relatable individuals facing extraordinary challenges. With only eighteen or nineteen of his ninety-five attributed plays surviving, his innovative techniques have left a lasting impact on both tragedy and comedy, influencing later writers and shaping the evolution of theatrical storytelling. His unique approach to character development and themes continues to resonate in modern drama.
